I am using Evernote more and more these days; Twitterific; Toodledo; Dropbox; Weather Channel (TWC); MotionX GPS Drive; TripIt; IMDb

All of these rock in their respective niche areas IMO.

Chalkboard Stunts - New racing game

This is somewhat car related, so I hope you guys don't mind me posting this here. Marketing is starting to be key to the success of games, so I'd really appreciate your help in spreading the word for our latest game: Chalkboard Stunts (now available in the App Store for $0.99).

Promo Video:
YouTube - Chalkboard Stunts Promo

Description:

Chalkboard Stunts puts you in the drivers seat as you race through numerous, exciting tracks and try to get the best possible times! In addition to the built-in tracks, you can download new levels from our server. The best part is that with the integrated level editor, you can create your own tracks and then upload them for the rest of the world to enjoy!

Loops, ramps, blocks, speed zones and other pieces give you the flexibility to create fast, sweeping tracks or even intricate physics puzzles that dynamically change the layout of the track -- the possibilities are endless!

An online rating and voting system allows users to vote up their favorite levels, and with every level having its own unique global high scores, you can compete against others to see who has the fastest times.

- 25 built-in tracks, plus downloadable levels
- Realistic physics engine with dynamic object interaction
- Easy to use, in-game editor to create your own tracks
- Ability to share your creations with the rest of the world
- Local and Global high scores for every level
- Voting and rating system for online levels
- Integrated, context-sensitive help system









Thanks for your support guys!

"5-0 radio" has live EMS feeds and scanner function. Their "News Feed" app is great too!
"MyNetDiary" is pretty amazing. A handy tool for personal weight loss or gain.
If you Homebrew, "Sparge Pal" has helped out several times.
I've yet to decide if "Slacker radio" is better than Pandora, but I'm leaning that way. Slacker allows you to outrightly ban an artist from being played.

I like Slacker and Pandora - but to me they are very different.

For example, if I build a radio station called 'The Grateful Dead', Pandora will play Dead, Phish, Niel Young, String Cheese - main stream jam bands.

Slacker, when given the same instructions, will play similar artists to Pandora but will add in many artists that I have never heard of - which I like.

LogMeIn - this app gives you the ablility to remote access any PC that is authorized. (My desktop and Laptops). So if I need to email something to work or my cell phone, I just LogMeIn!!

this is a screen shot of my iPhone using my iMac. Works well with PC too.

I'll tell you what I want:

I-SNOOZE BUTTON.

The regular alarm clock part of the clock that comes with the phone has a little tiny "snooze" button. We need an app that has a snooze button that covers most of the screen. Stupid, yeah. Awesome, yeah.

Line 2 is very interesting.

Although, at $15/month, it doesn't look likely to save money on voice calling - could simply increase minutes under the ATT plan.

if you synced through itunes, it should be in your itunes after syncing...check "purchased" in the playlist column on the left after syncing and see if song shows up

One of the apps I think is very useful is Air Sharing. It cost 2.99 but it allows you to use any web browser to log onto your iPhone and transfer files. You have to have Wi-Fi but it is very simple to use.

I copied some 20 MB images from my home computer into a folder I made. I transported them to work and download them to my home computer. It made the iPhone into a wireless USB drive. It has passwords if you want use them.

Very handy.

I was looking at Air Sharing and found mbDrive Free. It is a free app that turns your phone into a wireless USB drive. Real basic but works well. Also requires Wi-Fi to obtain an ip address.

Apple doesn't like things to flow that way. Try this.

What I want to figure out is how to get my phone book from my phone to my windows xp computer.
